Do you believe in aliens? I didn’t I until I met a couple of them. They told me some things that I already knew, and they also showed me things I could have never imagined.

The basic gist of what the aliens had to tell us is that the vast majority of the problems that we face are basically due to bad habits. The solutions are largely just about shifting perspective and re-focusing attention. To be fair, an Estralarian Mind Meld is about more than that, but it’s the best summation I can give of having your cranial cavity shoved through an inter-dimensional vortex.

Whether you’re looking for inspiration on becoming an entrepreneur in the New Economy or if you just like a good story that makes you smile often and sometimes laugh out loud, <em>How to Survive an Estralarian Mind Meld should be at the top of your reading list. Called “addictive,” “stellar,” “a rollicking romp of a book,” and a “wildly entertaining ride,” this little book has readers going back to it time and again for more delightful nuggets of wisdom, inspiration, and insight. Get your copy today.

What do you want to do with your life? What goals do you want to achieve? What dreams do you aspire to?

Meditation is one of the simplest and most effective techniques for creating peace of mind and good health. For centuries, people from a variety of traditions have used meditation as a means of centering themselves, finding balance, and even manifesting their desires through the power of their own thoughts. Although some still view meditation as some sort of lofty practice used by the spiritual elite, more and more people are integrating meditation into their daily lives, and you can too.

As the great poet Rainer Maria Rilke once said, “The only journey is the one within.” Meditation will take you on that inner journey so that you can more enjoyably experience the journey without… without stress, without dis-ease, and without worry.

If you’re planning a trip to Paris, Experiencing Paris: A Journey Through Paris’ Arrondissements is the travel guide for you. Paris is comprised of 20 different neighborhoods, called arrondissements, that spiral out like a nautilus, each one with its own unique personality and flavor. Highlighting the major sights and the things casual tourists might miss in each arrondissement, Steve McAllister takes you on a journey through the City of Lights like no other. Featuring the best museums, eateries, hotels and hostels, entertainment, historical sites, and places to shop, everything you need to know about how to make your trip memorable is right here in an easy to digest book.

The Rucksack Letters is the account of one man’s journey toward self discovery, filled with colorful characters, blazing humor, and somber soul-searching through the vivid tapestry of America’s underbelly. At a time when the world is seeking a new path, Steve McAllister offers a touching, comedic, and insightful travelogue through a world gone mad. Based loosely on Jack Kerouac’s “Rucksack Revolution” mentioned in The Dharma Bums, The Rucksack Letters is an inspiring tale and charged call for a more sustainable, creative, and collaborative world.

Inside InkenSoul

The Soul of InkenSoul

Steve McAllister believes that all things start as thoughts, and if we wish to make them manifest, we had best write them down. After earning a Bachelors degree in psychology and dubbing himself a Renaissance Man, he wrote his way across the country, through the underbelly of America, to write The Rucksack Letters. A journey that ended in Los Angeles where he studied writing songs and screenplays while putting his film production technology experience at Valencia Community College to good use, working for Hollywood projects such as Paradise Hotel, Dragnet, and Something’s Gotta Give.

Returning to Sarasota in 2004, Steve has been involved in the community as an artist, an activist, an actor, a musician, filmmaker, and a community organizer. Examining the possibility for Sarasota to become a marketing mecca, with a little help from two visiting extraterrestrial life forms, he crafted the scenario in How to Survive an Estralarian Mind Meld. And throughout his infamous year without money to his campaign for County Commissioner, he has produced The Labyrinth of the Unbroken Path mobile installation gallery and written his upcoming book about ABC (squared) Economics, a more balanced approach toward collaborative, resource based economics.

Steve was also integral in the development of the Common Wealth Time Bank, Sarasota’s first complementary currency, and The Flow Factory, a think tank for sustainable living and artistic, entrepreneurial, and charitable causes. His most recent project is a serial documentary on how Sarasota ends homelessness called Home Free. He enjoys writing and loves to help people find their voice.
